One of the most efficient methods to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those which must not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you may limit the access for an entire state. You could also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also stay away from the chance of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with us and you wish to block one or a number of IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia CP. Through a rather simple interface, you can prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete this is to log within to your Control Panel, to navigate to the IP Blocking section, to choose a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You won't have to do anything difficult if you'd like to block a whole network - you'll simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the same section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the undesirable traffic to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, considering the fact that we provide a very easy-to-use tool to do that, which is included with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you haven't dealt with such matters in the past, you shall not have any difficulties, considering that our tool features a very user-friendly interface. As soon as you navigate to the IP blocking section of the CP, you will find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you should do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP in the box below. The change will take effect at once, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally easy.
